"In 1971, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama took a trip to New York City with [designer and graphic artist] Tadanori Yokoo. He stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and spent his days in The Museum of Modern Art Photography Study Center looking at pictures taken by Weegee. He shot 100 rolls of film with a half-frame camera, yielding 70 images per roll. Some of those pictures are presented here."Coming to New York in 1971 was my first trip to a place that I really had a terrible yearning towards-I was a little bit like a puppy leaving its mother's side for the first time to begin marking out its experience."--Moriyama
